Gaby Ramirez Howard believes she has something in common with the dogs and cats at the animal shelter where she volunteers with her class. She, too, needs a good home. Her mother was recently deported to Honduras and her dad may be involved in some shady dealings and is seldom there for her. Gaby is the shelter scribe and writes catchy profiles for each of animals to facilitate their adoption. Her attempts to rescue a cat, Feather, from unfit parents traps her in a web of lies that could seriously impact her friendships, her job at the shelter, and her integrity. Gaby's writings would be an excellent writer's prompt and the treatment of bullying, Honduras, and illegal aliens put this a cut above the rest.
